Welcome to the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce

Walking along the Mystic River at daybreak, you don’t have to imagine the history that comes from this 19th century ship-building community, because we've preserved Mystic's rich history meticulously. Boats sitting in calm, blue waters as they await the opening of the Bascule Drawbridge, tall ships tied to the wharf, and captain’s mansions lining the winding roads all contribute to making Mystic so special for visitors and residents alike. With a large variety of attractions throughout the Stonington region, there's adventure around every corner.

In a village where everything new keeps the old name for decades, you’ll meet a salty sailor who crafts wooden boats in his colonial era shed, or witness an artist working “plein air” on the docks and side streets. As you sit for dinner, you'll notice that the pinky, sunset sky catches in 17th century windows, and taste all varieties of seafood freshly-harvested that very morning. Perhaps you'll choose to savor the hops in a locally-brewed IPA or discover that special item you can't live without, as you roam the store-lined streets of Downtown Mystic. You might choose to extend your stay by reserving a room at a quaint bed-and-breakfast, but we're certain you'll be plotting your next adventure after your arrival home.

The Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to being your compass for new adventures in the Mystic, Groton, and Stonington region, and we've also dedicated ourselves to the hundreds of businesses that deliver on that promise of adventure - our Members. Begin your next adventure by visiting our Member Directory.
